Former Georgia State quarterback Nick Arbuckle has signed with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL) and been added to the team's practice squad.
CFL teams are permitted to carry up to 15 practice-roster players (up from the usual 10) for a one-month period.
Arbuckle passed for more than 7,600 yards and 51 touchdowns as the Panthers' starting quarterback the last two seasons. He was named the 2015 Sun Belt Conference Student-Athlete of the Year.
His signing was announced one day after a big moment for another Georgia State football alumnus in the pros.
